That's her favorite spot in the yard.

Today was nail trim day. Megan came over to help us out and spent a long time playing with all the kids when we got done. They sure do love her.

Note for our local friends, Megan is a certified vet tech who has a pet sitting business. Shes insured and she's amazing with all sizes and types of critters. If you're in need, message me for her number.

Better late than never.
Here's your nightly puppy fix 🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️

Shalom worked really hard today. She pulled the bed up onto the couch all by herself. I guess she got the memo that she's stuck with is for a while and decided to make the room her own. It looked like a good place to have dinner to me. :)

This is for all the moms who ever tried to get a quick snack without trying to share with the kids. 🤣😂🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️

Shalom is so sweet. I can't say enough about how lovable this little girl is. She bonds quickly and is every bit a velcro dog. We don't even need a leash outside already. She stays nearby and has excellent recall. She is just starving for affection. It's sad that she's stuck here for an extra month so we're really trying to keep her entertained and comfortable. Shalom ❤️🐾

Here's your nightly puppy fix. All is well at the Retreat this evening. Momma loves those beef bones, puppies like to be in a pile, often biting each other's faces, and Ella likes to steal the biggest bed.

The first time I offered the puppies mash didn't turn out the way I had hoped. I put each of them at the bowl and put a taste of it in their mouths. Stubby was the only one that had any interest in it. After making a sufficient amount of mess, mommy ate it all, I think just to keep them out of it. 🤣. If anyone needs me, I'll be washing puppies.

She was searching for that perfect spot...

Our Cheese Whiz addict loves the plush bed her Auntie & Uncle sent her. ❤️🙏When Shalom got here, on the recommendation of the vet's she had seen at the Hall County Shelter, we scheduled her amputation with our vet. It was set for Wednesday. As y'all know, at the recommendation of Dr. Crouch, we're doing Physical Therapy and working her leg in an attempt to help her recover and hopefully, save the leg.

I've done hours of online research to learn about her condition. Everything I've read says that if they don't improve at all within about 6 weeks of the injury, it's not likely they'll regain use. I've got to admit that my gut is telling me to just take the leg. I really don't think this can be fixed. The level that her leg has atrophied makes me think that it's been this way a lot longer than anyone realizes.

But... In difficult decisions I default to a piece of advice given to me repeatedly by my late father. He always told me, "Kid, if you have a tough decision to make, never take the easy road. Choose the route that'll be the most work. There are no real shortcuts in life. Nothing easy is ever satisfying." So, today I postponed her surgery date to next month. As much as she dislikes the confinement here, what's a few extra weeks when you're among friends.

And now for a very important message...

I wish I was a puppy. I want a nap too.

And now for something totally different...
